Magnetic properties of rotational states in the pseudo-Nilsson model Original Research Article

The electromagnetic behaviour of rotational bands based on natural-parity single-quasiparticle states in heavy, deformed nuclei is considered in terms of particle-rotor calculations employing the pseudo-Nilsson scheme. A comparison is made between the intrinsic magnetic parameters, gK and b0, at prolate deformations in the Nilsson and pseudo-Nilsson models. It is found from examining the M1 properties in the two models and through comparisons with experiment, that the pseudo-Nilsson model is most appropriately applied to orbits that occur at higher energy in the shell of interest.
